TIL: perfume is considered a "hazardous material" by the USPS. (I mean, I always thought the same in general, but you can't mail it without special packaging/declaration/etc.)

Future Changes In Global Atmospheric Rivers Projected By CMIP6 Models

https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JD039359 <-- shared paper

maps and charts - (a) Atmospheric river (AR) characteristics, including duration, interval, area, and intensity during the DJF globally. The central plot displays the increase in AR frequency between the far-future (SSP585; 2070–2099) and the historical (1980–2009) periods, with the climatological AR frequency in the historical period represented by the contours. Black dots indicate unanimous frequency changes among CMIP6 models. The red rectangles are the boundaries of the target regions and the black hatches are the selected land regions. The surrounding plots show 2D Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) maps for AR characteristics over the historical period and far-future under different scenarios displayed in the bottom right corner for eight regions. The univariate distributions of the characteristics are shown on the outer axes of each subplot. (b) The comparison of the KDE maps for three selected regions with ARs detected with GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 AR detection tools (ARDTs). Note that only the SSP585 scenario is available for the far-future period in these two data sets. The legend is the same as in Panel (a). Note that the figures of PanLu ARDT are presented based on daily scale data sets, while the figures of GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 ARDTs are presented on 6-hourly scale data sets due to data accessibility.

maps and charts - Projected increase in panel (a) atmospheric river (AR) frequency and (b) AR-induced precipitation for DJF and JJA in Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere under the SSP585 scenarios. The shading represents the differences between the far-future (2070–2099) and historical (1980–2009) periods, with contours delineating the historical climatology. ARs detected with the PanLu, GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 method are all shown. Note that the figures of PanLu ARDT are presented based on daily scale data sets, while the figures of GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 ARDTs are presented on 6-hourly scale data sets due to data accessibility.

“What’s happening is unprecedented,” Rancho Palos Verdes’ contracted geologist, said this month after reviewing more than 16 years of data. “We haven’t seen this kind of movement in the upper areas of the landslide in the whole history of monitoring the #landslide.”

We issued a new hazard map today for the - area. We are inching towards another intrusion it seems. Results from modelling indicate we might reach a similar inflating volume we had before the last eruption on the 14 January in a few days. We expect a seismic swarm as a precursor, but the time between swarm onset and eruption is uncertain. For the previous two eruptions we got 90 minutes and 5 hours.

Major Fluvial Erosion And A 500-Mt Sediment Pulse Triggered By Lava-Dam Failure, Río Coca, Ecuador

https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5751 <-- shared paper

photos - Former location of the Cascada San Rafael lava-dam waterfall and knickpoint on the Río Coca, viewed facing upstream. (a) Pre-collapse morphology of the waterfall, in 2012 (image from Ecuador Ministry of Tourism). Accommodation space upstream of the lava dam was filled with sediment. (b) The site was on 2 February 2020, shortly after a sinkhole (upstream of lava dam) captured the river. Dashed line shows the approximate location of the unconformable contact between the lava flow and underlying volcaniclastic avalanche deposits. (c) The site was on 22 February 2021 during the incipient collapse of the remaining arched edifice of the lava flow. (d) Later on 22 February 2021 after full collapse of the lava arch. (e) The site on 25 February 2021, shortly after the river overtopped and eroded through the debris dam. Photographs in (b) through (e) provided by the Corporacion Electrica del Ecuador.
map and chart - (a) Detailed map of the study reach (shown within box in Figure 1a), with river kilometres (rkm) shown referring to distance downstream of the Coca Codo Sinclair (CCS) dam and diversion intake. (b) Subsurface geologic cross-section of the study reached from rkm 0 to 22 (annotated using field observations of the authors and borehole information from INECEL [Instituto Ecuatoriano de Electrificacion], 1992). Dashed line shows the riverbed profile as of 2 December 2022, 1,034 days after the failure of the Cascada San Rafael knickpoint. Prior to the loss of the knickpoint in February 2020, the accommodation space upstream of the Cascada San Rafael had entirely filled with sediment. Geologic units are abbreviated as volcaniclastic breccia (Br), cohesive volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (CoAv), loose volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (LoAv), ancient alluvial deposits (All), lacustrine sediments (Lac), debris-flow deposits (Deb, a thin deposit around rkm 8–8.5). Lava flow, recent alluvial deposits and Mesozoic bedrock are also shown.

My furnace has failed.

I get to have a bunch of people in my house shortly to replace it before the Big Ontario Freeze descends on Saturday.

I feel like - I am having a constant dialogue with my threat & risk assessment module.

I will have to treat my home as a biohazard environment for most of a day.

& HEPA & oh my.

Replacing a furnace on a pipe-busting deadline is complicated & stressful.

Doing it while in today's world is 10x more complex and 100x more stressful.

If you recall my sailing analogy, we have to have a formal family safety briefing & contingency planning before it all gets started.

Then we have to maintain safety situational awareness while working a task on a deadline.

Time to break out my favourite and reports for to get the ball rolling:

Number of people in a room vs .

Last @MoriartyLab prevalence report was 1 in 13 or ~7.7% for Ontario.

That was for period ending Dec 29. Its definitely gotten worse.

I love the optimism of the early pandemic where 10% was considered top of the likely prevalence for risk assessment as shown by the chart.

Yay

Why the World’s Most Popular #Herbicide is a Public #Health #Hazard

Glyphosate, known by its famous brand name, #Roundup, is a widely used herbicide (a pesticide designed to #kill plants).

A unit of the Centers for #Disease Control and Prevention did the largest and most comprehensive study to determine glyphosate exposure using urine collected from a sample of Americans selected between 2013 and 2014 to accurately represent the entire population.

“Hurricanes have always struck the shores of the United States.
But in recent decades, the combination of climate change and a growing coastal population has made them far more damaging — particularly in one corner of the Atlantic coast…"

Remember when a woman standing behind her new car, excitedly showing it off, was still mostly visible?

If you're young enough, you probably don't.

SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans accounted for 78% of new U.S. vehicle sales in 2022. And they're bigger and taller than they used to be.
